I am very sorry that you are subjected to attention that must be painful to you. Although I believe that it would be best for Misplaced Pages if you were to relinquish your administratorship, my belief is not based on your sexual orientation. I hope that you will stay an active editor, and will continue contributing on a wide range of topics including LGBT ones. I deeply regret the personal anguish that I am certain you must be feeling at this time. I appreciate all of the positive things you have done for this worthy project and I wish you well. ] ] 06:07, 29 January 2012 (UTC) I am very sorry that you are subjected to attention that must be painful to you.

Fae, is arguably one of the top Wikipedians in the UK. He represents the UK in the Houses of Parliment and talks to major institutions on behalf of the movement. He enjoys the trust of everyone who knows him. There appears to be a group of editors who are creating a witch hunt for the smell of a conspiracy. Fae has many supporters who do not like to lower themselves to debating with these people. We also spend a lot of time editing rather than debating trivia. If we allow good editors and people who fly the flag fot the movement to be driven from our midst then the process is wrong. ] (]) 10:20, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Just quit already

You're gonna burn in this world and the next! Best admin evar ! Ash=Fae=F4g (talk) 04:43, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

This comment fits a coordinated pattern I have seen of personal homophobic harassment directed against me over the last month on Twitter, Misplaced Pages Review, email, Wikimedia Commons and Misplaced Pages. I would like those that keep an eye on my user page to take note and reflect on whether the harassment policies we have for the Wikimedia projects are able to act effectively or efficiently when anonymous accounts, low contribution sock puppet accounts and manipulative traveling circuses are used to attack members of our community. Not all such attacks are as obvious as this one. Thanks (talk) 08:23, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

I am sorry this is happening to you

What you are going through is simply beyond awful. It's gruesome enough to watch. It really is a slow motion poofter bashing. That said, you are conducting yourself with great dignity. Many have forgotten that you are not really a Wikipedian or an Administrator or anything like that. You are a person. With feelings and all that stuff. Whatever happens, I want you to know that somebody understands that. I really am very sorry. I wish I could do more. --MtD (talk) 16:23, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

The time and thought you've given to Misplaced Pages proves how much you care about it, I sincerely hope you can disengage your feelings now and watch with a degree of detachment as all this manoeuvering plays out. It's very upsetting because you're a great admin, but it doesn't matter because - as Matty says - your actual life is what counts. Exok (talk) 21:31, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Hang in there. You definitely do not deserve the personal and horrific comments thrown at you. Wildthing61476 (talk) 04:22, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

A kitten for you for all the hard work you've done.

Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/Fæ

I am letting you know that a discussion about you and your actions being extremely similar to a possibly past account operated by you under User:Ash has been opened. I am an uninvoved editor who is not participating in this but I thought you'd like to know that your account was created around the time User:Ash quit. Should this former account not belong to you, it is best you comment here immediately as this seems very suspicious. I thought it be best to let you know about this.—cyberpower (Chat)(WP Edits: 513,185,877) 21:01, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

I in fact have just received an invitation to this today, myself. At this point I do not recall where I discussed something to do with you, but am attempting to find this out. (I have since found out it was from a WP:AN discussion in archive 712, where I merely commented to another user moreso than on the thread itself. CycloneGU (talk) 23:47, 28 January 2012 (UTC)]] However, as you never received a notification yourself on initial skimming of your pages (of course you may have removed the notice from your page for all I know), I am letting you know that this has existed for three days now and your visit to the RfC in question would be encouraged. CycloneGU (talk) 22:34, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

I wish you the best

I am very sorry that you are subjected to attention that must be painful to you. Although I believe that it would be best for Misplaced Pages if you were to relinquish your administratorship, my belief is not based on your sexual orientation. I hope that you will stay an active editor, and will continue contributing on a wide range of topics including LGBT ones. I deeply regret the personal anguish that I am certain you must be feeling at this time. I appreciate all of the positive things you have done for this worthy project and I wish you well.
